I provide Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples, individuals and families. I was trained in psychoanalytic psychotherapy at the Texas Research Institute of Mental Sciences in Houston and under the supervision of Diane Martinez MD in San Antonio. I'm also an Approved Supervisor and Clinical Member in AAMFT. My primary employment is with Vail Valley Medical Center where I do mental health evaluations and substance abuse interventions. I completed my 13th season as a ski instructor at Vail in April 2011.

I am in the process of completing my master's degree in counseling psychology at Regis University. I come from a background in eastern philosophy, primarily Tibetan Buddhism, where I am learning to practice "mindfulness" in every moment possible. I believe mindfulness is the key to integrating the body, mind, and spirit; and finding happiness. I counsel adults of any age, and provide a safe, private, and compassionate environment to work on any issue, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. Together, we can explore your inner world to discover, and cultivate practical skills to help you live a happier life.

I specialize in the areas of child/adolescent behavioral concerns, bullying, family loss, women-specific concerns and family relationship issues. I have a strong background in trauma and PTSD work relating to adolescents, adults and specifically, women. I am certified in EMDR. My therapeutic approach lends itself towards working with the whole family and outside providers whenever possible. Hard work can be done with the right balance of challenge and heart. I believe in my clients and am willing to do whatever it takes to guide them and their loved ones through the process of healing.
